When expectations mounted around experienced pacer Prasidh Krishna, a young Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) all-rounder took the spotlight by taking 3 wickets during India A vs Australia A (IND A vs AUS A) 1st unofficial Test in Lucknow. 

Harsh Dubey picked up 3 wickets at Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium. The match is considered equally important for both of the teams, as there are multiple talents who can be in contention to be a part of India's main team setup. Dubey is undoubtedly one of them. The 23-year-old all-rounder caught everyone by surprise when he had 3 wickets in his bag after the end of the first innings. 

From the beginning of the innings, Australia A was well under control with their openers Sam Konstas and Campbell Kellaway. Konstas already made his name as an exciting talent who played an entertaining 60-run innings against India in 2024 in Melbourne. Konstas, who is now playing for the Australia A team, scored a 109-run knock against India A, and his opening partner Campbell got 88 off 97.
